Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

"I-I didn't think we'd actually pull it off," the blonde girl stuttered, her eyes wide with disbelief as she watched the burst of white lights.

What does that mean? It was the sign! The sign of an elimination!

The others were also stunned! They were supposed to be happy that the tournament favorite had been eliminated just like that, but they were surprised because the tournament was still in its early stages, with a few more teams left. Yet somehow...the one with the biggest hype around his name had already been eliminated!

The competitors weren't the only ones who were shocked! Klein was literally trembling...

"F-folks, it seems something unpredictable has happened in this tournament! Hendrix Armstrong has been eliminated!" he stuttered, still struggling to believe his eyes—lately, since the start of this tournament, this sensation had become familiar.

A wave of whispers spread through the arena.

"Are my eyes deceiving me? Did the young master really get eliminated?" one of the spectators from the Armstrong side voiced, his voice filled with incredulity.

"Dammit! That little bitch! How dare she!"

"If she ever steps out of that place, I swear I'll break her legs into two!"

"All hope is not lost! At least we still have the rest of the Armstrong siblings inside," the citizens of the Armstrong duchy tried to be optimistic.

"Yeah, you're right. We can still win this with or without young master Hendrix!"

Meanwhile, in the VIP Area...

The shadow on the duke's face had darkened more and more; he glanced at the father of the blonde girl, who had a proud smile on his face. He had never been this proud of his daughter before; enrolling in the prestigious Runesmith Academy back in the capital was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

While he was momentarily relishing in joy, a thick, suffocating aura pressed down on him, and he immediately broke into cold sweats. From the corner of his eyes, he could see the Duke glaring at him. The smile instantly vanished, replaced by fear.

Even Nathan's eyes flashed with confusion. Just like the others, he hadn't anticipated the outcome. He had always thought Hendrix and his grandson would be the last people standing and fight in an epic showdown.

There was a flash of surprise on Bridget's face as well, but this didn't change her mind about enrolling Hendrix in the academy.

"This is a good thing, right?" a woman belonging to one of the teams left in the mysterious realm asked her husband in a quiet tone.

"Y-yeah." The husband stuttered, his eyes never leaving the screen. From his voice, it was evident that he was still in disbelief.

Even the others had similar expressions on their faces. Usually, they were supposed to be jumping up and dancing because one of the biggest threats had been eliminated; instead, their faces were filled with surprise and confusion.

Back inside the mysterious realm, the others were still struggling to come to terms with what had happened. Slowly, they were starting to shift back from the huge chasms.

The Armstrong siblings were, at first, surprised; they had witnessed how powerful he was firsthand! Before the tournament even started, they knew he would completely dominate everyone. It was one of the reasons they had decided to join the first brother to snatch the spotlight.

Soon, the surprise turned into a pleasant smile, and they briefly spared each other a knowing glance. Their thought process was pretty simple: now that Hendrix was gone and Nox had probably been dealt with by the second brother, they were now the favorites!

'Hahahaha, by the time the first brother shows up, we'll go all out!' the third sister thought mischievously. Just like Wendy had thought, the Armstrong siblings were stronger together...there was a reason for this.

Now...all they had to do was wait...wait for the second brother to show up!

Meanwhile, Nyx remained standing there, her fist clenched, her gaze fixed on the chasms below. She didn't like this outcome. She should have been the one to eliminate Hendrix by herself! She had trained rigorously throughout the years for this moment, to repay the humiliation she had gone through that day.

'I trained for years...this...I should've been the one to beat him.' Instinctively, Nyx's eyes shot toward the one who had caused this.

Before she could make a move, a figure soon descended on the battlefield like a phantom, landing gracefully amidst the scattered remains of the battlefield.

BOOOOOOM!

A thunderous bang echoed throughout the surroundings as the figure landed on the battlefield, and a dust storm rose. From the dust, they could spot a figure. Everyone's attention, both in and outside the mysterious realm, snapped toward that direction.

Most of the spectators also jumped up on the edge of their seats as they recognized the figure.

"Is that who I think it is?"

"It's him!"

"No way! I knew he couldn't be dealt with just like that!"

The Awakened closest to the point of impact flinched back as they felt an oppressive aura coming out of the dust storm. They immediately brandished their weapons and activated their skills.

Even Nyx's eyes flashed sharply as holy radiant light glowed in her sword once more.

The blonde girl barked at her temporary alliance, informing them that the fight wasn't over as they had thought. They immediately activated their various skills, and the blonde girl started to weave her fingers in the air, drawing intricate patterns, ready to unleash yet another devastating attack.

Her eyes gleamed dangerously, and for a moment, she didn't look pretty. "I can do this all day!!!" she exclaimed.

As for the Armstrong siblings, they were clenching their fists, and their faces were twisted into deep frowns. All their fantasies were shattered just like that! It was the first time in their lives when they were about to be in the main spotlight and claim all the glory and honor, yet...yet it all had to crumble before their eyes.

"If you guys want to get rid of me, you've got to be more creative." An arrogant voice rang out from the dust, and everyone stiffened and gripped their weapons even more tightly.

Just moments later, the dust finally began to settle, revealing...
